Life with Kids....Stain Removal

I spend a lot of time...and money on clothes for these dang kids. The amount of laundry around here is endless and the cycle never ends. My girls have always been super amazing about bringing something to me and telling me they had a spill or whatever, so I could 'fix' it. The little man has no mercy on clothes. Everything he wears looks like it has been put into a blender with chocolate and spaghetti sauce. Seriously....

I only do laundry on the weekends, so I usually find this mess on Saturday or Sunday. It has sat on the clothes for days at this point. What is my magic trick to 'fix' this madness? 

A neighbor (thanks Kate!) told me about this magic bar about 5-6 years ago. It has proved to be a lifesaver more than once! I have bought countless bottles of spray stain remover, but this stuff is ahhmazing! It used to be less than a buck when I started buying it....dang inflation! A bar of this will last you a year! 

I throw the clothes on the counter and wet the bar of soap with water. Then I give whatever stain a good scrub with the bar. Next stop is the washer....or sometimes the laundry basket for another day! Either way - this stuff is magical! 

Here is the shirt post wash and dry....just like new again! 

I have used Fels Naptha on Matilda Jane for years, but these boy clothes really put it to the test! The girls are just starting softball, so I'm sure it will get a lot more love this season!
